Canon's new professional camcorder is the Canon XF605 with 4K 4:2:2 10-bit video resolution. With a 15x optical zoom lens, complete with an anti-shake. This camera will be essential for photographers, TV press and live broadcasters in the coming period.

However, this small camera offers a lot for its size: 4K 60p / 50p 4: 2: 2 10-bit and Full HD with a frame rate as high as 120p. The data provided by the 1 inch CMOS sensor is processed by its own DIGIC DV 7 processor.
Other features inherited from high-end Canon cameras include a variety of custom image options that can be adapted to different needs and provide more flexibility in post-production or in the field, including HDR (HLG/PQ), Canon Log3 and custom, user-generated search files. Other camcorders in Canon's lineup with C-Log flavors have also been updated over time with firmware updates
Once the Canon XF605 had a fixed lens, Canon was able to achieve tight integration resulting in a smooth 5-axis image flicker. Four IS options are available by combining different settings in Standard, Dynamic and Enhanced IS, allowing users to choose the most appropriate and effective IS function for their shooting environment.
4K Video and 15x Zoom in Canon CXF605
The built-in L-series 4K lens offers 15x optical zoom in 4K resolution and 30x “advanced” FHD zoom. It offers a range of 25.5 - 382.5 mm (full frame equivalent) with an aperture of f / 2.8 - f / 4.5. It also has built-in motorized ND filters (1/4, 1/16, 1/64) and 3 dedicated control rings for iris, zoom and focus.
The Canon XF605 utilizes Canon's fast and accurate Dual Pixel CMOS AF system that brings eye-detection AF and Canon's EOS iTR AF X intelligent head-detection and tracking function (when the face is off the lens) to the XF lineup of camcorders. This is another feature that was first introduced in high-end cameras.
Live Streaming and Useful Features in Canon CXF605
The new camera from Canon keeps up with the live broadcast. With Live Stream IP capability supporting multiple protocols, remote control for multi-camera operation along with Canon's range of PTZ cameras and the addition of UVC to be used as a webcam via USB over USB.
The Canon XF605 features dual SD memory card slots and multiple recording options. It can record different file formats, resolutions, color samplings, and agents simultaneously to separate cards.
Another very useful feature is the ability to simultaneously output to both 12G-SDI and HDMI connections, which can be inserted into any combination of monitors and broadcast and recording systems to support both live and pre-recorded workflows.
The Canon XF605 is compatible with Canon's new Content Transfer Mobile app which allows users to edit news metadata before and after shooting and import footage from the camera to the phone, enabling instant transfer to broadcast station servers, for example.
